Translink has reinstated buses that were cancelled in West Belfast after trouble involving young people.

The route at Lagmore View was stopped in September 2016.

Sinn Fein councillor Daniel Baker told Belfast Live: "18 months ago a bus parked at White Rise was attacked. It was a serious attack and the bus service was removed.

"One of my priorities was to have the bus service resumed. Sinn Fein worked alongside Translink, Unite, community workers and the local community and together we have the bus service returning next week.

"The drivers' safety is paramount and a lot of work has been done locally and I believe the service will be able to operate without any further incidents.

"The return of the service to White Rise/Glen is vital. We have elderly and less-abled residents unable to walk 400 yards to the next stop at teeling.

"The return of the service is welcomed by the whole community.

A Translink spokesperson said: "Metro buses will resume into Lagmore View from next Tuesday, 20 March.
